Thanks for the memories!

Sadly Over-hyped

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

After double agent Picasso Trigger (smoothly played with cool assurance by John Aprea) gets bumped off by treacherous arch drug smuggler Miguel Ortiz (a pleasingly slimy portrayal by Rodrigo Obregon), several federal agents are assigned by the agency they work for to bring Ortiz down. Writer/director Andy Sidaris maintains a quick pace throughout and delivers his usual enjoyable mixture of delicious babes in skimpy swimsuits or less (busty blonde knockout Dona Speir and mega cutie Hope Marie Carlton are mad hot as our sexy heroines while smoldering buxom brunette Roberta Vasquez contributes a memorably sultry turn as enticing femme fatale Pantera), an amusingly goofy sense of tongue-in-cheek humor, big splashy explosions, nifty James Bond-style gadgets (a deadly explosive boomerang, killer remote control toy car and airplane, etc.), a good deal of bloody violence, occasional bits of strenuous slow motion, a cool fierce martial arts fight, and globe-trotting international locations which add an impressively expansive scope to the picture. The acting from the attractive cast is passable at best, with Steve Bond likable enough as buff hunk Travis Abilene, Kym Malin simply adorable as sassy cowgirl dancer Kym, Cynthia Brimhall displaying real class as the elegant Edy Stark, and Harold Diamond providing suitably macho muscle as ace karate fighter Hondo. Howard Wexler's slick cinematography gives the movie a nice polished look while Gary Stockdale's lively score hits the stirring spot. A fun flick.

The third film in the long "babes with guns" series, has the buxom beauties of a government agency that at this point of the series hadn't been named, go after baddie Miguel Ortiz after he kills secret agent Picasso Trigger. A steady stream of bad acting, massive explosions and even more massive mammeries (but less nudity than most of the other films in the series). When it comes down to it Andy Sidaris's near-trademark mixture of boobs, bullets, and bad acting is not for everyone. You either enjoy the concoction or you don't. I'm more in the former than the latter as I see them as fairly innocent time-wasting eye candy. Just go with it and you'll enjoy to an extant. And while this one might not be his best film (that would be "Do or Die" in case you're wondering), it's still enjoyable if you just remember to turn your brain off at the door.My Grade: C+ Eye Candy: Cynthia Brimhall, Hope Carlton, Patty Duffek, Kym Malin, and Don Spier all show various amounts of gratuitous skin.DVD Extras: Introduction with Andy and Julie Strain; Director's Commantary; 36 minute Behind the scenes featurette (featuring abundant nudity); Production Stills; Sndy Sidaris filmography; web-links; Theatrical Trailer; and Trailers for 11 other Sidaris films (all with abundant nudity) Easter Egg: There's one hidden in the main menu featuring a nearly fully nude Julie Strain goofing off.

Gorgeous brunette with wet-suit zipped way down her cleavage takes a spear gun bolt through her heart. As she's embracing a guy and about to stab him, another bikini clad woman shoots her in the back with the spear gun, and the bloody tip of the spear emerges from between her breasts.In an earlier scene, same girl is topless.They don't show that stuff anymore.Lot's of gorgeous women as always with Sidaris filmsBare bosoms are out nowadays in movies accept in the home video only segment

Just watching the credits for Sidaris' flicks reveals where he gets his cast. Everyone is from Playboy, Penthouse, or Playgirl. What the heck, everyone wants a chance to act. At least none of these folks gave Sidaris any headaches about doing nude scenes!The movies are popcorn, not meant to be taken to seriously. Just sit back and watch a bunch of occassionally naked women and guys kill some nefarious bad guys.
